Why Confess My Sins to a Priest?

Poem - Walk of Shame

I should've seen the writing on the wall

Lord taught me right from wrong

But I walked right into that brier

And now my only hope's his fire

You could say that I'm just stupid

That I didn't mean any wrong

But I knew, I knew full well

'Bout pain that'd come from that fall

So I look you in the eye

I see the pain wrapped in your tears

My hands are empty, open wide

You can hate me it's your right

You open up your heart to me 

Your forgiveness sets me free

I should never leave your side

You always help me choose what's right

Please, oh please forgive me

I'm just a broken, hollow man

Please, oh please forgive me

Without you I don't stand a chance

Please, oh please forgive me

I'm crawling back again

Please, oh please forgive me

Jesus, I need a hand

The Vineyard

The Vineyard

Living in a paradise, though I think its all the same

I work to earn all that I have, and I complain every day

Nothing ever seems enough, despite all that I have

Could God just give me a break, I rub my calloused hands

Finally luck has come my way, everything seems to be right

I've got more than I've ever had , for once things aren't so tight

I thank the Lord for all I got, I deserve it after all

Maybe now I can get away, but what's this, I have a call?

The preacher he is a tugging on my wallet every Sunday

Sick kids on the TV, yeah they're dying every day

Maybe I could give a dollar, but I know it won't stop there

Who am I really after all, a man of help or full of greed?

What will I do at the vineyard

Will I let your lone Son in?

What will I do when the time comes?

Will I love you?

Will I sin?

Still...

Still...

You held me high, into my eyes

You smiled, there was no other

Full of peace, I felt at home

At your side, I was your brother

Time passed by, still all was right

Growing wiser, day by day

But something smelled, what was wrong?

I couldn't see it, with my eyes

From my back, a stinging pain

Words never hurt, like this before

Around my neck, hung a noose

Our bond is dead, I'm swinging now

Where'd you go, what'd I do?

I still long for you my brother

I'm still the same, my hove's not changed

I still long for you my brother

Your Call

You call me in you call me home

Even when I got nowhere to go

You call me in you call me home

There's no end to how much you love

Sometimes there's a tough choice to make

Sometimes I feel alone

But if I open up my heart

I'll see you by my side

There's nothing that you you've never seen

You're waiting, arms wide open

The choice is mine, you let me be

Which path? It's hard to choose

Sometimes I don't want to know

Selfishly I walk away

But when I fall and see my folly

You're waiting there to take me back
